Beer is good for you?

Beer have so many varieties- they have light colored to very dark ones. Belgium is very popular with it’s wide range of beers – a few that I know of are Trappist, Dubbel, Blonde or Golden Ale and Stout. Belgians drinks on on an average 93 litres of beer per year.

My goodness!

Did you know that beer are good for the health too?

Well according to Tufts University’s study, moderate consumption of beer can decrease your cholesterol level, reduce the amount of fibrinogen in your blood (which is a protein that is responsible for blood clotting), and not only that it can also increase the level of antioxidants in your body.

But not all beers are going to give to give you equal health benefits. If you are to drink beer for health reasons, take dark beers. They have more flavonoids than light beer. Flavonoids are found in chocolate and red wine and plants.

Flavonoids have been proven to prevent cancer and promote a healthy heart. Sure, you can find flavonoids in other foods, such as fruits and vegetables, but they are also present in high numbers in dark beer.

My hubby drinks beer once in awhile preferably ice cold but I am more of a root beer person;).
